Customer Review: So says a noted professor in the beginning of this film, and the stories that follow bear witness to that fact. Several endangered species are documented here. There is the Black-footed Ferret, the Manatee, the Golden Trout, the Red Wolf of the Southeast, and several more. This video begins... more info
Customer Review: This video was reasonably interesting, especially in its discussion of the Classic Maya Cities of Copan and Dos Pilas. I was somewhat disappointed by the lack of diversity regarding sites covered. Copan is certainly one of the more important Maya cities and it deserved coverage, but what about... more info
Customer Review: Bought this for my young granddaughter, who loves to watch animals in all shapes and sizes. It's difficult to find nature films that don't include the requisite scenes of animals ripping into each other's flesh, and this film at least succeeded there, with one exception.

Customer Review: Jewels of the Caribbean is by far the best documentary I have seen on marine life. I am a marine biologist and have seen probably every show out there. The footage, narrations, music, etc. on this video are wonderful. The shot of the ray swimming in circles in front of the camera's light is amazing.... more info
Customer Review: Based on the other reviews, I think the appropriateness of this video depends more on the child than on the age. My son will turn four in a couple of weeks and this is by far his favorite video. I admit that surprised me because the documentary format of the video appears more suited to adults. But... more info
Customer Review: We bought this to show kids in a middle school class the REAL story of the titanic. We found that all the kids had an understanding of the Titanic that was based on the MOVIE, so I sought out a good documentary type of feel so they could get the real story and THIS IS IT! What a great film. You... more info
